Answer:
2 and 0.6 ohms = 1.8A
4ohms = 1.08A
6 ohms = 0.72 ohms
Step-by-step explanation:
With the help of the given diagram calculate the current through each resistor.
According to ohms law
E = IRt
E is the electromotive force = 9V
I is the total current in the circuit
Rt is the total equivalent resistance
Get Rt
1/R = (1/4+1/6) (parallel resistors)
1/R = 3+2/12
1/R = 5/12
R = 12/5
R = 2.4 ohms
Rt = 2 + 0.6 + 2.4
Rt = 5 ohms
Get the total current
I = E/Rt
I = 9/5
I = 1.8A
Since same current flows in a series connected resistors
Current in the 2 and 0.6 ohms resistors will be 1.8A
For the 4 and 6 ohms resistor:
Voltage across them is expressed as:
V = IR
V = 1.8(2.4)
V = 4.32Volts
The current in 4 ohms resistor
I = 4.32/4
I = 1.08A
The current in 6 ohms resistor
I = 4.32/6
I = 0.72A
